The Großwörterbuch is one of the flagship dictionaries of the Langenscheidt line. This prestigious German/French (one direction only) dictionary was originally developed in the 19th century by Professors Karl Sachs and Cesaire Villatte. The current edition, with 150,000 entries on 1047 pages was edited by Erich Weis. The Großwörterbuch is renowned for its comprehensiveness and acuracy. Along with its French/German companion volume, the Sachs-Villatte is considered the standard work for translators and institutes of higher learning.
